Caleb being Caleb

So it's been a little while since I posted, so I thought I would do an update post on how Caleb is doing these days. There is no question that at this age, they really start to show their personality. He has his moments, but overall he is just a happy little guy...who gets into everything I might add! Caleb is now just over 10 months old, he is about 30 inches long but only weighs about 18 lbs. He is quite the tall string bean like his Dad! He can stand up without using anything for support, and sometimes stands there for 30 seconds or more at a time. We have tried to catch this on video, but he never seems to want to do it on cue. We'll keep trying! Here are some of the many faces/sides to the little man!

One of the first cold days recently when we were on our way to the park. Caleb was excited (yet being patient) to get there.

Caleb has begun using straw cups since he didn't really ever take to sippy cups. Since mastering the straw, he has started to make fish faces at random times. Super cute huh?

This face we have no idea where it comes from, but he'll pull it out every now and then. We think he looks like like a bass or a crappy fish. We affectionately call him our bottom feeder :)

And here was a not so happy Caleb as I strapped him in the car seat to go to our class at the library. He cheered up, but look at that sad little face above!

Here is the adventurous side of Caleb caught on camera. We had some friends over for a baby playdate that morning and his friend Liam climbed the stairs (which up to this point I had never let Caleb try it), and Caleb followed him. I couldn't believe he climbed all the way up! So later that day, I taped him doing it. I'm guessing he would have done it a long time ago if I would have let him!

There's not much that needs to be said about this one. Caleb is a snorer and it always makes us laugh!

There isn't much that Caleb is afraid of, other than vacuum cleaners and sometimes people (he is still going through his stranger danger phase at times). But we couldn't resist videoing him laughing at, but also pulling back from the horse Grammy and Pops gave him. He finds it funny, but there are some moments he's not too sure about it. Maybe it's because Jason was saying, "Moo" (which we know is not the sound a horse makes, but it's what makes Caleb laugh). Whatever it was, this video cracks us up!

Finally an attempt at getting him to stand for a long period on video (not a very good attempt it turned out to be), but at least Caleb is being silly and cute in it. We'll keep trying as I said. Before we know it though, we'll be getting him walking! Has hasn't taken a step yet, but he is oh so close!
